The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
A knowledge of SACE Stage 2 Biology is assumed.
The course aims to produce dual qualified graduates who can deliver quality nutrition and exercise practice within a wide range of settings public health, health education or health promotion. Students are provided with core and foundation knowledge of human structure, function and behaviour, biochemistry, nutrition and physical activity and then apply this knowledge to a variety of nutrition and exercise based scenarios as a means of improving performance across a variety of interdisciplinary health settings.
At the completion of the course, students will be able to:
